Not Hatching

[Roxotics]

I have a two egg clutch I've been waiting on. Today is day 82 and they have not hatched yet. The temps are at around 84-85. I did have some incubator troubles midway through where there were some temp drops. But almost all my other eggs have hatched since then. Even had a couple hatch a bit premature and they're doing great.

The eggs look healthy still, large and white. No dents or sweating. What happens when the babies die in the eggs? Don't the eggs go bad or something? I just think 82 days is a looong time.

I'm not sure what I should do. Probably best to just leave them and wait and see? Have any of you guys had eggs take this long with mid 80s temps?

That is a pretty long incubation...but if it doesn't stink or isn't moldy keep incubating it!

There's no smell and no mold...guess I'll just keep waiting.....

have you tried piping yet. that is a LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time. and i'm impatient after 32 days

No I haven't tried that. I've never done it at all before so I'm not sure how to. And I'm scared that it will hurt them (if they're still alive in there).
